June 2018

MORE THAN ENOUGH BY MARGE PIERCY

The first lily of June opens its red mouth.

All over the sand road where we walk

multiflora rose climbs trees cascading

white or pink blossoms, simple, intense

the scene drifting like colored mist.

The arrowhead is spreading its creamy

clumps of flower and the blackberries

are blooming in the thickets. Season of

joy for the bee. The green will never

again be so green, so purely and lushly

new, grass lifting its wheaty seedheads

into the wind. Rich fresh wine

of June, we stagger into you smeared

with pollen, overcome as the turtle

laying her eggs in roadside sand.

FAQs about Bus Trips

How do I sign up for a bus trip? By calling the main Transportation line, 978-402-8133. Some trips fill up quickly, so call promptly when you see a bus trip that interests you.

What if I sign up but then have to cancel? Residents who cancel on the day of the trip will be charged 50% of the bus fee. If applicable, residents will be charged 100% of a ticket fee if purchased in advance by Newbury Court. These fees will be charged directly to your account. Please try to cancel trips well in advance so that residents on waiting lists can be notified appropriately. To cancel, be sure to once again call Transportation in order to be taken off the trip list.

May I bring a guest? If you wish to invite a guest purely for the company, be aware that seats will be given to Newbury Court residents first, and only if there is room and no waiting list will a guest be given a seat. However, if you require a companion to assist you that person can be given a seat at the time you reserve yours, depending on availability.

Will you collect the bus fee at the time of the trip? All bus fees are charged directly to your account at the end of the month. Note that the bus fee (if any) is listed at the end of the trip description. Admission fees may be collected before or on the day of the trip; please read the specific trip description carefully for clarification.

Monday, June 4, 4:30 PM Lecture - Contemplating What A Commercial Recreational Marijuana Market Would Mean for Concord: Lessons Learned from Four States and DC, Morrison Theatre. Colorado and Washington legalized marijuana in 2012, followed by Alaska and Oregon in 2014.The District of Columbia legalized cultivation and possession in 2014. Today’s highly potent marijuana, marketed by a new marijuana industry poised to profit from heavy use, represents a growing and significant threat to public health and safety. Regulations shaping implementation of MA state law allowing a commercial marijuana market are incomplete. As in other states, MA has permitted this industry to influence both policy and policy makers. While the consequences of these policies will not be known for decades, early indicators are troubling from a health and public safety perspective. Data available from Colorado, Washington, Alaska, Oregon, and DC that may offer insight into what to expect from legalization of commercial marijuana businesses in Concord will be discussed, with emphasis of impacts on school aged youth, social justice issues, increased alcohol and opiate consumption, hospital admissions and emergency room visits, black market, increased property and other crime, increased marijuana in the workplace, and increased traffic accidents and fatalities. Discussion and questions will be welcomed. Lecture will be given by A. Eden Evins, MD, MPH. She is Founding Director, Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Addiction Medicine and Cox Family Professor of Psychiatry in the Field of Addiction Medicine, Harvard Medical School.
